Thanks Olly.

The Carnauba wax is meant to be quite tough but I wouldn't try finding out how strong. I did pass on to my daughter about coasters.

Regarding the sliding off the table............are you saying its not level!

Be like the cowboy films wouldn't it!

LOL

No Marc, I was purely talking about the slick-looking finish!!

I know mate

Thanks.

Marc

 top job with hand tools,i can`t cope without electric.

 does the mrs know youv`e taken the non slip stuff from under the rug ?

LOL.

Thanks Nick.

Yes she knows........she found out when she slid across the floor and thought she was Aladin on a magic carpet! 

Olly

Its definitely not Sycamore, its a toss up between Maple and Cherry in my inexperienced view

Unless theres another !

Marc

Ah, that's good, I didn't think it was sycamore either!

I don't want to start this discussion again, but I'd be inclined to say it's maple, looking at some of the photo's. You also mentioned before that these were old floorboards... I've definitely heard of people laying maple floors, but cherry? That's news to me!

Next question you'll have to ask yourself is whether it's English, European or American...!!

Olly,

yes, cherry is available as a flooring.

Olly

Like you, I don't want to start this discussion again either!

What I do know is its tree wood and it came from London so it must be English!

Hi Warren

Thankyou mate, appreciate it.

Its cutting a sort of tenon, don't know the terminology for the joint but, looking down at the top its more like an 'L' shape (Half tenon on 2 sides) to fit flush into the corner of the rails so you would have (as in the sides of the leg) A & B cut, C & D not cut down.

If you understand that.

Thanks again my friend.

Marc
